Being Healthy: Easier Said Than Done!

There are five main things you need to do to be at your best health. The first one is to Eat Right. Number two is to Exercise. Three is to get proper Rest or Sleep. Number four is to Manage Stress. Number five is that you need to get your Spine Checked.

Number one is to eat right. It means to try to eat as healthy as much as you can. It also means to avoid bad food and drink and skip sugars and sweets. This also includes drinking more liquid or drinking more water. Your body is 60% water (H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158); we need to be drinking about 8 cups a day.

You need to make sure to get your nutrients so your body can function like it’s supposed to. You want to eat good and drink a good amount of water because the body needs the elements from these to do the tasks it must.

We also must exercise. Movement is very important for the body. “Motion is life” is often said. Exercise doesn’t actually mean going to the gym every day, but just getting off the couch for some. If you can’t make it to a gym, walk laps in your house or step outside and go for a stroll.

Third is sleep or rest. Your body has a lot of functions when you’re at rest. It performs much healing when you are sleeping. Poor sleep habits can stress your body. I like to use my traction pillow when I sleep because not only will it help me sleep but also put my spine in alignment.

We also have to manage stress. High stress levels cause problems for the body. Whether it’s more mental or physical, it can hinder the body processes.

Last, get your spine checked. Our spine holds our nervous system think about us bringing score spinal cord to the central nervous system It is so important it’s encased in bone.

In addition, try not to put yourself in harms way; don’t do activities where there is a good chance you can get hurt or you could injure your spine. And get adjusted; it takes just minutes but adds days to your life.

Do all these things to be 100% healthy. A good contoured pillow is a step in the right direction. With the Arc4life Traction Neck Pillow you align your spine while getting a good night’s sleep.
